| 27 | 5. Run POWPREF |
|---|
| 28 | </H1> |
|---|
| 29 | <img src="powpref2.gif" align=left> |
|---|
| 30 | Before a least-squares refinement can be run, the POWPREF program |
|---|
| 31 | must be run. This program assigns the reflections that are associated with |
|---|
| 32 | each data point in each histogram. For this reason, POWPREF should |
|---|
| 33 | be rerun if the lattice constants change, if peak widths or |
|---|
| 34 | asymmetry parameters change or if you change the range of data |
|---|
| 35 | that you are using in any histogram. |
|---|
| 36 | <P> |
|---|
| 37 | POWPREF can be run in one of three ways. It can be invoked from the |
|---|
| 38 | menu item in the Powder menu (see to the left), or as a button in |
|---|
| 39 | the button bar (see below) or by pressing the Alt-P key combination. |

|---|
| 46 | <img src="powpref4.gif" align=left> |
|---|
| 47 | Once POWPREF is started, a window is opened to watch the program |
|---|
| 48 | progress, as is shown above. |
|---|
| 49 | <P> |
|---|
| 50 | Since POWPREF modifies the .EXP file, |
|---|
| 51 | a message, as shown to the left, is displayed. |
|---|
| 52 | Pressing "Load new" causes the new .EXP file to be reread. |
|---|
| 53 | Pressing "Continue editing" causes EXPGUI to continue to edit the |
|---|
| 54 | previous version of the .EXP file. If more changes are made, and |
|---|
| 55 | the .EXP file is saved, the changes made by POWPREF will be lost. |
|---|
| 56 | POWPREF makes only minor changes to the .EXP file, so there |
|---|
| 57 | is little reason to reject the changes, but if a program, such |
|---|
| 58 | as GENLES has made many incorrect changes to an experiment, the |
|---|
| 59 | "Continue editing" option provides an easy way to keep the .EXP file |
|---|
| 60 | from before the run. |
